Remember my little friend Lucy? She just had her birthday and she is FOUR years old! Keep in mind this is twice as long as her doctors’ prediction three years ago…we told you Lucy is a fighter! Lucy shares a birthday with her older sister, Jocey, and we had the opportunity to attend their birthday party yesterday. Jocey wanted a dog cake, Lucy wanted My Little Pony…so they got both! Their gorgeous and adorable cake came from Studio Cake in Menlo Park and it was absolutely perfect.
I think my favorite part of the party, though, was watching Jocey and Lucy interact. Lucy watching Jocey blow out their candles, Jocey cuddling with Lucy over and over again…words can’t describe.
By the way, the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation has raised over $100,000 so far through the Santa Barbara Marathon, which is in two weeks! For those of you who donated to Lucy’s mom Cherisse for her run, thank you!!!
